If you want the ending to hold, you need to turn off the 2-bar ending feature; otherwise, BIAB will generate an ending already defined in the style. You can't have a style based ending and a held ending at the same time.

So, as has been said, turn off the feature, add your chord with three dots (for a hold), and then how every many bars you want to end the song, enter another chord with a single dot (but this chord must be different from the held chord - one of those BIAB eccentricities). For example, if you end with G..., then three bars later enter something like G7. or Gsus.

If you are are concerned about printout, then yes, you'll probably have to white it out.

Also, remember, different instruments decay at different rates. You're probably not going to get a piano, for example, to hold more than a few bars, and the drums are going to just play a shot and be done with it. An electric guitar should hold for quite awhile, but an acoustic won't (unless it's MIDI, and then it might depending upon your sound source).

Just experiment until you get the sound you want.
